Ever hear of the Brooklyn Shinburgers?
Nasty-ass pedal. Ive seen pictures of people missing chunks of flesh from these things.

Man that hurts.  Had it happen a few years back when I TRIED to bmx.  It was a disaster and I have some nice scars from it that are pretty much just holes in my shin.

yea, that has happened to me, and this is my word of advice: dont bike with flip flops.
when that happened to me i got two gashes up my leg, one gash needed 16 stitches and the other needed 9. i wish i had gotten pictures cuz the gash was literally 3/4-1 inch wide and i could clearly see the bone. that wasnt a pleasant day.
